Jesus... I'm really sorry you had to go through that. Gamergate and everything revolving around it was a complete shitshow.Okay. That this tweet was posted literally makes my blood boil. I was on the front lines of gamergate when it started. Literally. I was on The Escapist the second the Zoe Post got posted there. Literally was told my partner of many years was cheating on me because they were an adult model. And was doxed... Twice.
People who say this is like gamergate really need to remember what that was about. It was about an ex lying about the behavior of there former partner. And everyone just believed him. Even when evidence to the contrary was posted.
It's what I feared this would turn into, because of the Amber-hate online. She's horrible, but bad faith actor's were/are definitely using this case to try and dismiss women (Marilyn Manson comes to mind).
The bolded part of your description itself could absolutely be applied to describe the Amber and Johnny situation though, because it's exactly what's she's done.
